I switched from Quest because the powers that be there apparently decided that putting sucralose (table sugar) and other synthetic sweeteners & ingredients in their bars was a good idea.<br /><br />It's clear their board turned to the Dark Side by catering to the "wishes" of their customers — prime one being "better tasting." Apparently a large swath of grown adults can't stand the taste of real, unadulterated food, and want stuff that tastes like birthday cake or donuts instead. Forget "better tasting" or "pseudo-healthy".... protein bars are *supposed* to be HEALTHY and minimally processed! If you want great tasting — go grab a candy bar, some sugary breakfast cereal, or whipped frappé at Starbucks while you're at it!<br /><br />People like myself are interested in 1) minimally processed, 2) high in protein, and 3) high quality ingredients. These bars hit all those marks and are the best bang for the buck. The flavors are subtle (in a good way), and don't have that artificial sugar alcohol taste like Pure Protein, Clif Builders Bar, or Quest. They're also high in fiber, which makes them quite filling for the sub >200 calorie count. Keep it up Kirkland, and please resist the temptation to cross over into the Dark Side like Quest did.

I do very low carb diet and needed something to have as a quick go to when I needed to eat but was in transit or tied up with conf calls . . These are great. They're chewy like some popular candy bars and do satisfy my hunger. I usually throw one in my purse when I'm going shopping. They take the edge off and keep me from eating something I shouldn't. I promise they don't taste like sawdust as in my experience may protein bars do. And they're generously sized. A pretty good portion. I've tried most of the flavors and like them all.

They manage to pack a good serving of protein while keeping the calories low and not compromising on flavor.<br /><br />They've become a staple in my household as a quick snack with decent fiber.

I'm pretty happy with these bars for breakfast. I used to make shakes but I find these more filling and I'm not hungry again 2 hours later. They're a little pricey compared to the shake mix but I think it's worth it. I'm trying to cut out as many carbs as I can; I know some carbs are unavoidable if you want something that you actually want to eat. I do actually want to eat these and I'd recommend them to someone looking to eat more protein and less carbs.

These will save you when you need a lift. Good amount of protein. Low sugar, love all the flavor’s.

OUTSTANDING in every way. These are the best bars for the value period and they are low sugar, high protein you cannot go wrong with these. They will leave you more satisfied than any lightweight granola bar for sure.
